OEM wheel swapping seems to be growing in popularity and creativity as the years go by. A few years ago the go to wheel to put on pretty well everything was the Corvette 'Sawblade' and while a lot of people are still going that route, I've seen plenty of other manufacturers give up their wheels to a variety of different platforms.

Picking right back up where we left off here is the second batch of the show day coverage from Importfest. I actually didn't intend to do two separate posts but once I started going through the photos I realized that there was no way I was going to be able to keep things in and around the standard 40-50 photos.

Another Importfest has come and gone which means this week is going to be almost completely dominated with coverage from the event. I haven't had a chance to go through all of my photos but on first glance I estimate about three posts worth of material.

Due to M.O.M. you already know I missed both CSCS and Vagkraft this year but before making the commitment to M.O.M. I reached out to Scott Holmes once again to see if he could snap a few photos. Like always he came through and thus I've got some photos to share from one of the biggest Euro events in the area.

Canadian readers have probably heard of Illmotion before but for those of you may not have Illmotion is a group of enthusiasts from Calgary who in 2010 decided their scene needed a bit of a kick in the pants. Last Sunday they had their second annual "Sunday School" show and shine at the Max Bell centre in Calgary and like other great events in the Calgary area guest contributing photographer Mike McConnell was there.

Last night I was sorting through my saved images folder and looking at my ever growing list of half started Theme Tuesday posts when I noticed that I had quite a few a3 photos saved for what I thought would be a part two. Which would be all well and good except for the fact that I had yet to do part one...

Starting a new show or event is never an easy task. With so many other events taking place in our relativley short season it's nearly impossible to schedule something that is not on the same day as at least one other event. Never mind choosing a venue, enticing vendors, and getting participants and spectators to come out.

Despite the wet weather last years Eurokracy drew quite a crowd proving that European car enthusiasts are not the type to let a little water get in the way of good times and low cars. This year the Eurokracy team started promoting the show six months in advance and once the weather cooperated breaking last years attendance record was no problem at all.

There are a few shows in the area that for one reason or another I am never able to attend, Vanfest being one and Spring Fling being another. Taking place practically around the corner from my house at the Canadian Club Hansa Haus this almost 10 year show is known for bringing out some of the best euro cars in the area which makes missing it year after year a real bummer.

One of the most anticipated events of the first half of the summer season was the first 'Fitted' event and Downsview Park put on by Stretch & Poke. Everyone expected it to be big but I don't think I was the only one who rolled up and was shocked at the turnout.

This Tuesday I've opted to bring back the ever popular 'Dat Ass' theme but fill it with only cars that were at Sundays 'Fitted' event put on by Stretch & Poke. Gathering this Theme Tuesday took second priority to capturing as much of the event as possible so I might have missed a few significant rear ends but there is still a good amount of variety and the last picture is sure to draw some controversy.

This entire week will be full of event and guest event coverage so if you often check the site from your phone you've been warned. Leading off the week of is coverage from the Hot Wheelz & Tirez customer appreciation show & shine that took place on Saturday at Hot Wheelz & Tirez in Mississauga.
